If it should be true (sure that it isn't ;), i don't know why ms doesn't includes secdrv.sys in the core, and calls it from ntdll, what should be the end of wine running native applications ;) Regards, Carlos. -- ___ _ \ | / Consulting | . |._ _ _| | ___ ___ ___ http://www.andago.com | || ' |/ . |<_> |/ . |/ . \__ GNU/Linux |_|_||_|_|\___|<___|\_. |\___/ _ \ __|\ \ / Carlos A.

Status of Winelib?
by Ralf Juengling 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Dear Wine developers, I contemplate using Winelib to compile and run an application, which was (keeps being) developed on Windows on my Linux box. There is relatively little Windows specific code in it (mostly concerning the GUI), so chances might be good to get it running with Winelib and a minimum of code changes. To get started with Winelib, I followed the instructions in the Winelib user's guide and tried to compile the test drive application "winemine". After some help from this list, I finally got it compiled but winemine crashes immediately on invocation. Now I wonder whether something is wrong with my Wine installation or whether the test drive application simply doesn't work in the current Wine release (wine-20031016). Could somebody please confirm one or the other (winemine compiles and runs with wine-20031016 or not)? Thanks, Ralf -- Ralf Juengling <juenglin(a)cse.ogi.edu>

[wineinstall] make nice value
by Jérôme Bouat 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Since the compilation process is very long, I suggest you give a higher nice value to the make processes launched by wineinstall. I will allow the user to do something else with its computer while wine is compiling. See where you could give higher nice values in the diff file attached. Jérôme

Winelib-Build: undefined versioned symbol name
by Martin Troester 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Hi, I am currently trying to move my application porting environment from Debian unstable to Red Hat 9. I thought this would not be a problem, but I get unexpected linking errors (see below). I copied the sources (that compile and link fine on the Debian system) to the RedHat 9 environment, which provides gcc 3.2.2 and libc-2.3.2. Furthermore, I installed the latest rpms of 20031016 that are hosted on the sourceforge.net site. Compiling the sources still works, but linking fails. Here's my example for finally linking all object files together: gcc -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic,z,defs -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/wine/wine -lm -lc -lwine -lstdc++ -lgcc_s <all object files> -o lib<mydll>.dll.so On RedHat, however, this fails with the following linker error: /usr/bin/ld: lib<mydll>.dll.so: undefined versioned symbol name fprintf@@GLIBC_2.0 /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status What I found googling through the net is that these conflicts may be caused due to other libraries that may have been linked with earlier versions (like in this case the striking GLIBC_2.0, which I cannot make any sense of). However, since I only link with Winelib libraries of the latest release, this does not make too much sense to me. Furthermore, I found the advice to interchange the include-sequence of the libraries, but this does not change anything. Furthermore I made sure that I do not carry any old object files with me from previous builds, although I never build against any GLIBC2.0 libaries... Any help would be appreciated, thanks very much! Cheers, Martin --

Announcing Wineconf 2004
by Jeremy White 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Hi folks, Okay, I've finally put together a web page and mailing list to centralize our information about Wineconf. You can view the page here: www.winehq.org/wineconf/ It's just a start; there are lots of details to fill in, but now everyone has a place to look. I'd appreciate it if interested parties could both let me know that they'd be there via the registration form and join the mailing list so that we can discuss the agenda. Once we've defined a bit more of an agenda, I'd like to go ahead and announce the conference as a whole to wine-announce. Cheers, Jeremy

This causes a lot of breakage in the shlwapi string tests. Some of these may well be because the shlwapi implementation depends on a broken CompareString, but others look suspicious. For instance the StrChrA test fails because CompareString says "-" and "'" are equal, that doesn't sound right at all. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

UI porting issues with odd shapped window
by Rob 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Second posting - original post somehow got attached to an existing unrelated thread, apologies... Hello All Again, We have found a work around for all our existing issues porting X-Lite so long as Jerry Jenkins's unincorporated WINE patch listed below is applied to Wine. I don't know why it's not incorporated yet, but without it our application has horrible issues (as do similar styled applications). We have spent time creating another test application with source to demonstrate UI issues that fail under Wine with unusual shaped windows, so you all can have a test application to work against to fix these issues at your leisure. We have worked around all of these issues in our application (with the unincorporated JJ patch) by using alternative APIs or use the APIs in a different manner. What are the chance's JJ's patch can be put into the main Wine CVS tree? Does anyone know what issues it breaks? All I can see is improvement (even though it's not a complete solution yet to all issues), hence my curiosity. This application demonstrates the issues we are having which will allow X-Lite to run under WINE. Find the demo application at: http://www.xten.com/files/winetest2.zip Some of the bugs are fixed by this *unincorporated* WINE patch by Jerry Jenkins: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/09/0268.html (hereafter called "the unincorporated JJ patch") - B1. Critical, but fixed by the unincorporated JJ patch. Focus does not appear to be on the application at startup. We do not receive keyboard messages, though we do receive many other messages, such as as mouse-clicks. Clicking on the square labelled "focus:" fixes the problem, by bringing up a message box -- when the message box is dismissed, the application has focus. This appears to be the same problem as that discussed here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292 - B2. Critical, but fixed by the unincorporated JJ patch. No task bar item. - B3. Critical, but fixed by the unincorporated JJ patch. "System" commands do not appear to be working. Examples: - we do not receive WM_CLOSE when the user presses Alt+F4 - Alt+Space does not bring up the System menu - B4. Critical, but fixed by the unincorporated JJ patch. We are always on top, until a screen-saver kicks in. (Also can be fixed by simply removing WS_POPUP.) This appears to be the same problem as that discussed here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288 - B5. Not critical, as we have a work-around. The application window is supposed to have a non-rectangular shape. The shape is made by setting a "region" from a mask bitmap, and calling SetWindowRgn. The problem under Wine happens when converting the 2-bit color mask to a 24-bit color mask. The black 2-bit pixels are properly converted to black 24-bit pixels, but the white 2-bit pixels are converted to a near-black, rather than white. The sample app demonstrates 2 ways of working around the problem: method 1: fixes the problem by using a 16-color (4 bit per color) mask instead of a 2-color mask. This gets around the bug in a reasonable way. method 2: fixes the problem by using near-black (instead of white) for the "transparent" color. This exploits the bug and causes a bad (but correct) appearance on Windows. - B6. Fixed by latest CVS WINE release. Copy to the clipboard doesn't work (though pasting from the clipboard does work). - B7. Not critical, as we have a work-around. Attempting to bring up the right-click context menu causes the app to hang. - B8. Not critical, as we have a work-around. Unwanted caption. If an application without a caption shows itself, and *then* gives itself a funky shape by calling SetWindowRgn, the application will have a caption. If, however, the application calls setWindowRgn *before* showing itself, it will correctly not have a caption. The sample app demonstrates this, as well as demonstrating a fix for the problem. min. fix view: clicking on this square hides the window and then shows it again, which gets rid of the caption max. fix view: clicking on this square also fixes B5 (using method 1) and then hides and shows the window - B9. Not critical, as we have a work-around. Handling WM_NCHITTEST to move an app without a caption. Another example of such an app was the clock that shipped with older versions of Windows. (You've got to first turn off the caption and menu by pressing Esc, or with Settings->NoTitle in the menu.) There's a copy here: http://www.user.dccnet.com/jroe/wakeup/winclock.zip This app shows another Wine bug -- turning off the caption bar and menu ony half works -- the caption bar remains. Another example of an application which turns off the caption bar and menu (and which only half works under Wine): http://www.user.dccnet.com/jroe/wakeup/wakeup.zip - B10. Not critical, as we have a work-around. Apart from the WM_NCHITTEST method (see B9), the sample app demonstrates 2 algorithms for moving a window. I'll call the algorithms the 'mouse move argument' algorithm and the 'cursor pos' algorithm. Either algorithm works fine under Windows, and either algorithm works fine under Wine *if* the window has a caption bar. but if the window does not have a caption bar, the mouse move argument algorithm produces some very undesirable results -- if you move the mouse fast, WM_MOUSEMOVE appears to send some very confused LPARMS, and the window gets moved to unpredictable positions. Clicking on the "toggle bug B10" toggles between the 2 algorithms. (Remember to turn off the caption bar first -- see B8). - B11. Not critical, as we have a work around. RTF control. This one is not actually demonstraded by the sample app. The problem can commonly be seen when running installer progams -- the EULA is often displayed in a rich edit control, and is unreadable under wine. An example of such an installer: ** http://www.innosetup.com/ -Rob

Wiki
by Mike Hearn 03 Nov '03

Hi, Is there a Wine wiki anywhere? If not, I think there should be, I'm always coming across random useful bits of info that it makes sense to note down somewhere, but writing and submitting a patch against the Wine Docbook sources is too much effort (or it doesn't fit neatly into a category). Would it be possible to run one on WineHQ? Jeremy? thanks -mike

This really sounds like something that won't be maintained or contain enough information to be useful.

I came across this function recently, and do not agree with its logic. I would write it like char *strmake(const char *fmt, ...) { int n; size_t size = 100; char *p = xmalloc (size+1); va_list ap; va_start (ap, fmt); n = vsnprintf (p, size, fmt, ap); while (n < 0) { size *= 2; p = xrealloc (p, size+1); n = vsnprintf (p, size, fmt, ap); } if ((size_t)n == size) p[size]=0; va_end (ap); return p; } By the way, either Wine's snprintf implementation is wrong or I do not know how to use it correctly.

Crash in dlls/comctl32/treeview.c
by Dmitry Timoshkov 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hello all, I've got a crash in Excel running a custom VB script. A crash log with +treeview is attached. As I see it, TVM_SORTCHILDREN causes firstVisible to become NULL, and on next TVM_SETITEMA message, TREEVIEW_UpdateScrollBars is called, which dereferences infoPtr->firstVisible, which is NULL. I'm not sure whether attached patch is correct or not, but it fixes a crash in Excel. The patch simply prevents TREEVIEW_Sort from setting infoPtr->firstVisible to NULL. Treeview gurus out there any comments? -- Dmitry.

Trillian hangs under wine
by Nikolay Sukharev 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I am trying to make Trillian work under wine. It works fine up to the point where I try to drag its window. Then it hangs and I even need to switch to the text mode shell to be able to kill wine processes. The error says : err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40ef98c0 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 000d, retrying (60 sec) Time:973746 Some research showed me that thread 0009 is trying to poll for new window messages while thread 000d is calling GetCursorPos. The GetCursorPos eventually results in a X11 call and it looks like this call never returns. I built wine from the wine-20031016 sources. I would appreciate if somebody can give my an insight what might be wrong here or where to look.

Good point. Efficiency is important, and my previous script had a lot of unnecessary repeating. I've rewritten it to be shorter and sweeter (and not have 6 if-thens in a row!) #!/bin/bash # Script for DLL downloading if [ "$compress" <> 'tar' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'tar.gzip' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'zip' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'none' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'tar.bzip2' ] then { echo "Compression format not supported. Exiting." exit 3 } if [ "$compress" == 'none' ] then { $compress = 'dll' } wget -P /var/tmp "$server"/"$serverpath"/"$dllname"."$compress" if [ "$compress" == 'tar.gz' ] then { gzip -d /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.gz rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.gz } if [ "$compress" == 'tar.bz2' ] then { bzip2 -d /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.bz2 rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.bz2 } if [ "$compress" <> 'zip' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'dll' ] then { tar -x -k -f /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar } if [ "$compress" == 'zip' ] then { unzip -n /var/tmp/"$dllname".zip -d /var/tmp rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".zip } cp /var/tmp/"$dllname".dll "$dest"/"$dllname".dll exit 0 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Icewind Dale and dirty stacks
by Filip Spacek 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hello, Having nothing to do, I bought Icewind Dale. As my luck would have it, it doesn't run in Wine. So I've spent the weekend trying to figure out why (which is aguably more fun than actually playing the game). It turns out that it allocates a huge structure on the stack (20948 bytes) but it doesn't initialize it properly. My current theory as to why would that work on Windows is that given the size of the thing the space for it is probably freshly faulted in and hence clean. In wine though, this space is already dirtied up (by Xlib initialization). Now of course, this is a program bug, and Wine is not at fault, but I'd still really like to play the game. Would it be possible to somehow run some of the dll initialization on a different stack? Or clean up afterwards? Or if nothing else, does anyone know how to quickly set a chunk of memory to zero in gdb (my current method of using a while loop with a set statement takes about 15 minutes to run). -Filip

I agree here, the patches what i have not sent to wine-patches, surely are incorrect, anyway it is necessary or will crash the game, because probably the pitch is bad calculated. > I also dont have the money to buy > lots of games, so where there is a demo WHICH INSTALLS I can try to take > a look!

The last demos what i have tried to install (d3d9), need uxtheme.dll, i am not sure if it is possible to use the native .dll (i haven't XP), but if it is not possible, i think that d3d9 should be left for later.
